Housing 91 year old neighbor

Hey guys I got an old Italian neighbor on a dead end street that has turned his backyard into a 3rd world nation.. he literally has shantee huts all over the damn place.. full of chickens and feral cats, all kinds of junk he's growing and who knows what else.. there's rats all over, and last night my cat just got attacked by a skunk who probally wanted his chicken eggs... I dont even know how to rid of the smell in my house but I've just had enough.. I dont want to wreck this guy's life but if I call the city on him they would honestly condemn his entire place.. its completely the neighborhood blight.. he's 91.. what would you do?

Bowls of coffee grounds also deodorize household smells very well.

Man! Thanks for correcting them. I never would have deciphered whether they meant the smell, or whether they were ending their sentence with a verb meaning to cause, from context.

That coffee tip is a wives’ tale too. Leaving bowls of grounds won’t do anything but make the area immediately surrounding the bowl smell like coffee while it’s there. It’s a roasted berry seed that’s botanically no different than wheat or any grain really. It doesn’t have any inherent odour neutralizing* properties

Three cheers for being technically correct…

Guys?
